So Fay was a flop. Big surprise. I've always said theres no reason to even call it a tropical storm/hurricane if its under a Cat 3. I've held swimming lessons in worse weather than yesterday's "pounding" by Fay.
In other news, I have said for a while that once things get settled, I would join a gym and get myself on track; however I have recently realized that in the crazy job I've got things will never settle down, so I'm going for it now. I joined LA Fitness. Its a pretty cool place. They have lots of equipment, a pool, a hot tub, a sauna, and really nice staff. After my first workout there I got a call from their personal training department saying that as a new member I was entitled to a free fitness evaluation with a personal trainer. So I went in yesterday (I wasn't letting Fay going to damper my day) filled out a questionnaire, found out that I have 27.6% body fat (yuck!), and with the assistance of my trainer I worked parts of my body that I didn't know existed. Good god am I sore today. Realizing that I know nothing about how I should be working out to achieve my goals or how to use any of the equipment, I decided that I needed further assistance from my trainer. So now once a month I will see my trainer who will measure me, tell me my body fat percentage, and give me my workouts for the month to help me reach my goal. I'm really excited about it. If anyone is at all interested in joining and being my workout buddy, they gave me some 3-day guest passes. Just a quick tip though, if you tell them that you can't afford it, they will make it cheaper for you. So argue yourself into a better deal...god bless haggling!
I have discovered that drug and other medical reps are the reasons why fat doctors and medical office workers exist. Case in point look at the joy and the danger of working in a medical office below:
Today a lady representing a MRI place we use dropped these and 2 more (which were devoured by Derek and I before pictures could be taken) off at our office. The pictures do them no justice. These were the most beautiful cupcakes I've ever seen, AND the lady even went to the trouble to put an "S!" on one of them in honor of me starting at the office. I have requested that she bring healthy stuff in the future to keep me from getting fat. Its nuts! We get stuff like this all day. Today people dropped off 4 cupcakes, 4 bags of Chex Mix, and 4 packages of cheese and peanut butter crackers, and today was a light day. They bring us lunch, smoothies, cookies, ice cream and any other junk you can imagine. I am starting a weight loss plan in the damn danger zone.
Finally, it must be mentioned that Abi is in town... YAY! Derek and I had the pleasure of having dinner with her, Chaz & Jill on Sunday. Whoo hoo. At least this "tropical storm" (if you can even call it that) had some benefit!
